Worth the price for a newbie and a cheap fullframe camera. And it’s easy to use.

I've used a Nikon 3100 for 8 years and wanted to upgrade to a full-frame camera. The Z5 is perfect for my photography style, and although there was a "learning curve" due to the customizable menus, etc., I am loving the process. Particularly, I appreciate the live view and the ability to see before shooting what different white balance choices will look like for the shot.

Everything I need in one small body

Thanks for bringing lens up a notch. My Z5 with my 50mmF1.8 is amazing. My rating would be a 5, if the focusing was a little faster.

I really like the mirrorless format. The picture quality so far seems great. I’m only concerned with the autofocus. It doesn’t seem to work very well in low light, and the eye/face focus seems a little slow. I’m hoping it’s some user error and/or hopeful that firmware updates continue to improve the AF. I did update to the firmware version 1.10It will take some time getting used to the button layout, but I’m excited to use this more and more.

I love it! During this pandemic period I hike a lot and I needed a smaller & lighter camera to take with me other than my D850. I purchased the converter and shoot with my DSLR lenses. They both work together seamlessly, and produce sharp images. The camera is easy to operate and the 2 SD card slots is a great benefit and ensures me of a lot of shooting.

I appreciate the image quality of the Z5. I really like the simplicity of the Z5. No more mirror box, focus module, prism. Simple. Because it focuses off the sensor, even my F mount lenses focus more precisely. Focus peaking with my manual focus 40 year old lenses is pretty sweet too. The update ability, because the Z5 is a computer with an image sensor is pretty cool. Image sensor cleaning/ dust removal is pretty easy with the sensor out in front of the body. My DSLR hasn't seen any action since I received my Z5. I'm a big fan & very impressed!

Lovely camera which I use a lot. It's much lighter and more compact than my D750 (which I also like.) The lens is the 24-200mm which is very good. I don't have much experience at low light levels, yet. The menu features are similar to the D750 so the transition was easy. Disappointment? The battery, while identical in shape and size to previous batteries, is so new the older batteries won't function with the Z5. The EN-EL15C is the only battery that works with it. I also had an off-brand flash unit that worked fine with the D750 but doesn't with this one. Overall, it's a great camera and I love it.

I REALLY like my Z5! A lot of camera for the money. If you shoot stills, this camera performs perfectly for me. I do not mind the cropped video, because the way I shoot, I like the longer reach of my lenses. This camera produces images as good as my Z6 with the exception of ISO 12000 and above. This is a perfect second camera for me. And the frame rate is plenty! Do not hesitate to buy this camera!
